PCT/US2014/053800 to MIT titled TUNING MICROBIAL POPULATIONS WITH PROGRAMMABLE NUCLEASES


The abstract:

--
Various aspects and embodiments of the invention are directed to methods and compositions for reversing antibiotic resistance or virulence in and/or destroying pathogenic microbial cells such as, for example, pathogenic bacterial cells. The methods include exposing microbial cells to a delivery vehicle with at least one nucleic acid encoding an engineered autonomously distributed circuit that contains a programmable nuclease targeted to one or multiple genes of interest.
